Low carbon lifestyles could be healthier lifestyles.

With less heavy traffic on the roads, it will be easier, safer and more pleasant to walk or cycle short distances: a cheap and healthy way of getting around.

The food we eat will be less processed, and more likely to be organic and locally produced. This is an opportunity to improve public health through a better diet.

People could be more active in general, with less sedentary consumerism and more doing things for ourselves, such as gardening and urban farming.

There will also be less pollution in the air and water, and less litter and waste on the streets.
